Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill 2019
Red
Napa Valley, United States
8.0
WineSaint
Dense and imposing, this shows Pinot in an atypical, concentrated style. Dark fruit, eucalyptus and baking spices emerge with serious weight and structure. The tannins are formidable and need considerable time to soften. A bold departure from varietal norms that requires cellaring through 2027.
